Package: signing-party
Version: 0.4.4-2
Severity: important

Hello!

I met Martin F. Krafft (madduck) last week-end for a key-signing party
(well, we were only two :-( ).

Last Monday he and me signed our keys using caff and as I was at
university I used the university mailserver via postfix (I'm not
allowed to use my own mailserver, as port 25 is blocked).  And then
the problem...

BTW, I'm using No Gnus 0.4 on GNU Emacs snapshot and all the PGP
stuffs work well. 

1) Every mail caff generated for each Martin's key was unusable: even
   on my bcc: copy, I'm asked if I want to decrypt the message, but
   then nothing happens.  Here how the mail looks inside:

   =====

   Content-Disposition: inline; filenam

   =====

2) For each key I've in my signature [1], only the mail to my
   University address (zoo.unige.ch) wasn't readable.  Again, I'm
   asked to decrypt the message, then asked for my PGP key's password
   and the message looks like the one I sent to Martin:

   =====
   -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----

   =====

The first thing I thought was a specific problem with the university
mailserver (i.e., it cannot manage encrypted mails).  So, I tried
sending encrypted mail to my University address using Mozilla Mail
2:1.7.12-1 + Enigmail 2:0.93-1 and No Gnus 0.4: both worked perfectly,
I mean, the mail was sent through the university mailserver and it was
readable.  Another test was to send an encrypted mail through a third
mailserver (the Switzerland Bluewin one) to my university address: I
could read the encrypted mail.  AFAIK, the problem should not be the
university mailserver.

Now, I'd like to keep my university address on my PGP key, but if the
next time I meet someone for a key-signing party I'll receive unusable
mails for the university signed key, well, that's won't be good.

Is there any way to locate the problem, I mean, is it a mailserver
problem or somewhere else?  If the problem isn't the university
mailserver, I guess it should be in libgnupg-interface-perl or in
libmime-perl, but I'm not a skilled Perl coder (and this is the main
reason I file this bug to signing-party).

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
